HOW THIS MANUAL CAME ABOUT WHY THIS BOOKLET? Many devotees have the desire to learn Mrdanga but they do not know where to begin. In addition, sometimes it is not possible to learn from the leading Kirtaniya’s due to their busy schedules. For this reason, we have decided to compile this small “Mrdanga Manual” to give an insight into the basics of playing Mrdanga in a simple and easy way. This is not the most ideal way to learn Mrdanga by any means! The best way is to learn from a teacher, starting from finger practice and then moving onto more complex mantras. But for those who don’t have the money or the time and wish to pick up the basic strokes on the Mrdanga so they can play to a adequate level in Kirtan, we hope this helps you.
WHAT IS THE MRDANGA? In Kali-Yuga, the most important and effective means of attaining love of God is through Harinama Sankirtana. This was inaugurated by Krishna himself when he appeared 500 years ago as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu introduced the Mrdanga drum to be used in kirtan. We respect the Mrdanga as an expansion of Lord Balarama. The Mrdanga drum is essential in kirtan. It brings the sweetness and attracts the heart of the devotees to the Holy Name.

ANATOMY
This page just gives a small insight into the anatomy of the Mrdanga. By using this diagram it can help you to choose a good Mrdanga.
Body: The clay centre of the drum is represented by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu himself. The Mrdanga is made out of clay so that the sound can resonate more. Large Head: Known as the Dayan. Is represented by Gadadhara Prabhu. The sound should be clear, resonate and deep. It should not be too high, or too low.
Small Head: Known as the Bayan. Is represented by Nityananda Prabhu. The sound should be clear and resonate like when you hit glass.
Straps: In order for the Mrdanga to make the best possible sound, ideally it should come with 32 straps around

THE MRDANGA PLAYER SHOULD ASSIST THE KIRTAN LEADER, NOT LEAD THE KIRTAN LEADER.
Service Attitude. It can be very easy to think of oneself as the best Mrdanga player or the one who made the kirtan amazing. Our eter nal constitutional position is that we are the servants of the Lord and our only business to serve and please Krishna. In a kirtan, a Mrdanga player should be playing in the mood of glorifying and pleasing Krishna and his devotees, not raising his/her own ego. The key is to perform service in Follow along with YouTube videos a selfless way to just please Krishna and if this is done then you will see
